Tongze 47×16 in Black Aluminum Grille Mesh — 6×3mm Rhombic Universal Cut-to-Fit

Tongze's 47" x 16" black aluminum alloy rhombic grille mesh is a universal, cut-to-fit front grille insert designed to protect your radiator and engine bay while maintaining airflow and a custom look.

This lightweight, corrosion-resistant sheet is made from aluminum alloy with a black coated finish and a 6 x 3 mm rhombic hole pattern. It arrives as a 120 × 40 cm (47 × 15.7 in) panel that can be trimmed and fitted to bumpers, body kits, hood vents or other openings to block stones, leaves and road debris without significantly reducing ventilation. The soft-but-sturdy mesh is intended for do-it-yourself custom grille projects and comes with basic care and safety notes for installation.

How does this mesh protect my vehicle’s radiator and intercooler?

The rhombic aluminum mesh acts as a physical barrier that stops small rocks, sticks, leaves and loose road debris from reaching sensitive cooling components. Because the holes are small (approximately 6 x 3 mm), the mesh reduces impact and clogging risk while still allowing air to pass through to the radiator and intercooler.

• 6 x 3 mm rhombic openings block common debris while preserving airflow
• Durable aluminum alloy resists deformation from minor impacts
• Black coated finish helps resist corrosion and road grime
• Designed to reduce direct hits to radiator fins and cooling cores

Will this fit my bumper or custom body kit?

The Tongze mesh is sold as a universal panel intended for trimming and shaping to fit many vehicle openings. At 120 × 40 cm (47 × 15.7 in), it can be cut down to size for most bumpers, grille frames, hood vents or aftermarket body kits. Because it’s not vehicle-specific, measure your opening first and plan mounting points before cutting.

• Universal fit design: trim-to-fit for bumper, vents and body kits
• Flexible enough for gentle shaping, yet firm enough to hold form
• Install by screws, clips, adhesive or custom frame depending on application
• Allow 1–2 cm tolerance due to manual measurement when planning cuts

How easy is installation and maintenance?

The mesh is soft enough to be cut with common metal shears and can be attached using a variety of hardware depending on your preferred method. Protective gloves are recommended during cutting and fitting because raw edges can be sharp. Maintenance is minimal: rinse or brush off mud and leaves and inspect mounting periodically.

• Cutting: use metal shears or a Dremel with cut-off wheel for precision
• Mounting options: rivets, screws, clips, double-sided automotive tape or frames
• Cleaning: hose down or brush; inspect for clogged holes and clear as needed
• Safety: wear gloves and eye protection during trimming and installation

What are the material and durability benefits of this panel?

Constructed from aluminum alloy and finished in black coating, the panel balances lightweight handling with resistance to corrosion and road conditions. The mesh grid is designed to withstand normal road debris impact without adding unnecessary weight or causing significant airflow restriction.

• Aluminum alloy offers rust resistance and low weight
• Black coating increases durability and provides a clean, OEM-like look
• Rhombic grid maintains structural integrity while allowing ventilation
• Long service life when properly mounted and periodically cleaned

Who is this for: The Tongze 47" x 16" grille mesh is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, custom builders and vehicle owners who need an economical, universal solution to protect radiators and intercoolers without sacrificing airflow. It's suited to anyone fitting aftermarket bumpers, modifying hood vents, or creating bespoke grille inserts on cars, trucks and SUVs. Professional installers can also use the mesh as a trim-and-fit part in restoration or customization projects.
